Grabnarca Waterside Nature Trail

Starting at the source of the Lipnica Stream, the Grabnarca Waterside Nature Trail leads hikers across a number of small wooden bridges, along the Grabnarica Stream at the foot of the Jelovica Plateau all the way to the Count's Lake.

The Grabnarica and the Lipnica streams once powered a number of mills and sawmills and the trail along them reveals the importance of water for the people of Radol'ca both in the past and today.

The area is distinguished by the remarkably diverse flora and fauna, including the extremely rare stone crayfish and the symbol of the trail, the white-throated dipper. A section of the trail forms part of the Natura 2000 Conservation Area. The return is best made across the picturesque meadows that encircle the village of Vošče, with views of the Karavanke Range and the Julian Alps. The trail can be combined with the Lipnica Castle Natural Science Trail.
